AWM6100/s door open light comes on shortly after starting

The light comes on about 15-20 secs after starting a wash. If you try the fault diagnosis in the manual, steps 1&2 are ok, press prewash (step 3) and warm fill is ok. The 6100/s doesn't have an easy iron button, so step 4 is not possible. There is water in the drum at this point to the bottom of the window or just above. Press the rinse hold button and it attempts to fill for a second or so and then the door open light illuminates. The drain seems to work ok as this has been repeated a few times and the water has emptied, so it doesn't look as if the pump is faulty and the prewash and main fills are ok. It doesn't do a rinse or spin either as the same indicator comes on.

Bought a new washing machine. The motor had one of the coils open circuit and the cost of a new motor was nearly that of a replacement WM.

Whirlpool 6th sense wont start cycle

I have the same problem. Look at the previous post, it seems to be the motor brush worn out. I've opened up the machine and checked. The carbon brush remains very little. I am trying to find out a replacement brush

Whirlpool AWM 6100/s Front load washer

Sounds like the front door switch has come out of place, or the actuator is out of place. If you can take the front cover off to get to this switch, you should be able to get it back into place pretty easily. Hope this helps, chad

Hi I have a whirlpool front loader, the door open light is flashing and machine wont operate. if I turn the machine of at the power source it goes off but after the machine attempts to start the light

You don't want to be spraying those locks with anything, unless it's an electronic-approved spray. They are electronic and can short VERY EASILY. My advice would be to have the lock replaced.

Machine will start then stop door light flashes no wash.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

The door light flashing indicates there is actually a problem with the door lock. Either the locking solenoid or the door lock sensor is malfunctioning and requires attention. Sorry- Service call!
Good luck,
John C
